00:00It is only when life hits you hard because you displayed the wrong intent
00:07that you realize that the suffering that comes with the right intent is much
00:14better because the alternative is much worse. Look at the kind of havoc we are
00:23wrecking on the planet. Are you paying a price? No? In fact what you call as
00:30civilization is simply an elaborate arrangement to protect you from the
00:37consequences of making wrong choices. Otherwise existentially if you see the
00:44kind of intent we have and the kind of choices we make life should punish us
00:49very badly, ruthlessly. But because civilization is some kind of an armor
00:57against the law of causality those systems need to be withdrawn and often those
01:05systems are individual, relational, familial. You cannot withdraw institutional
01:14supports because you don't have a handle on them. But yes if there is a person in
01:19your life you are shielding from the consequences of his actions please
01:24withdraw the shield. You are not doing him a favor. Let them face the full force of
01:33causality. It is only when life hits you hard because you displayed the wrong intent
01:42that you realize that the suffering that comes with the right intent is much
01:49better because the alternative is much worse. Remember that.
